2019 Headliners

I think it's reasonable to assume that his US tour is a priority, and that while it's going on, he'd be happy to do Glastonbury if he can do it - but that if it becomes an issue, he'd give priority to the part of the world he's in right now (knowing that realistically, he could headline any year he likes). So my working theory is that if he's pulled out or put it back by a year, it's probably either because of extra dates State-side, or a realisation that he doesn't especially want to come all the way back home for a festival.

He's also huge enough that if he did play 2020, nobody would bat an eyelid. It doesn't come much bigger.

Three UK arena dates is pretty much the norm for what he does on each album.

True but he hasn't done many dates here for a while (it seems to me he has played elsewhere a lot more in recent years?). It feels like there's more interest in him maybe because of the various 50 year commemorations etc. Just would expect something else next summer but who knows...

Why do people keep avoiding referring to @Brave Sir Robin by name? He's not a mystery dude on the Glasto boards. :lol:

When I was posting about him yesterday I actually couldn't remember who it was and couldn't be arsed to look. Referred to him as Mr BST Hints today so people knew it was the guy I was on about yesterday.

Apologies @Brave Sir Robin.

Is Madonna 100% out of the equation? She has a new album coming in 2019 and it'd make a ton of sense for her to headline...

It would but it appears her asking price is millions higher than what Glastonbury would be willing to pay

Stormzy, The Cure and Lady Gaga would be very strange headliners and I highly doubt the GP would lap that up.

i guess resale will be a walk in the park right?.... RIGHT?

also Lady Gaga being the biggest act on the lineup considering her career (before a star is born) is pretty mad. She was meant to be on a decline!

Yes I would. Stop telling me what I want.

One thing that makes me think it’s not Gaga though is that Emily said about a ‘couple of blokes’ thing and if Gaga was headlining I would have thought she may have referenced or at least hinted the female headliner? 

Also it hardly fits with the twitter random saying it’s someone you’d never guess/it being a shock. Lady Gaga seems to be linked every year and her stock is really high right now

It depends whether the twitter user is a petitioner or not.

in their world Glasto only has stock for oasis

She comes across as sound enough. I don’t think she’s lying on anything either, just whether the info is legit or not (as most ends up being Chinese whispers even in good faith)

    • I don't think a whole raft of attendees who've been going every year since the mid 90s and mid 10s collectively all thinking the festival is no longer for us suggests we've all aged out of it at the same time. Something fundamental has changed and its pretty obvious what that is. The fact that theyve managed to skinny down the line up so much AND STILL get punters in is a real credit to the bookers, filling it with enough of the current thing to get the kids excited for a weekend while pulling in enough big names to make it worth a day out for the casual Florence fan etc... is impresive. Re Leeds: Annecdotally, from videos, numbers have looked tiny vs Reading, esp on the camping end of things, it would be good to know the official numbers and how much they're down from the peak sell out years

    • I mean she's never going to admit it, but of course she would do a deal...same as Labour would with lib-dems/greens if meant getting into government.
    • They probably do make more from the festival. But take a look at an aerial photo from any year - there's always a few fields that would be viable for festival related use yet are left empty. I guess they just don't want to deal with the associated hassle.
